Today is the first day of training camp when the pads come on, early word is the defensive line is dominating the offensive line. If you are thinking about calling Evan Mathis right now and offering him your first born, slow down. Suh might have something to do with what is going on so far. And its early so…

I could oink a bunch of observations from camp, but some days your trotters are tired. So we can always rely on the gift of photos.

One of these guys is going to dominate offensive lines this season. I’m told Darlington has a great bullrush…

How you celebrate throwbacks!

This is what pressure feels like…

Yeah, Lazor don’t look at his hair…

No, no autographs for me. I have to save ink in case I have to re-sign again.

I just checked WQAM and was treated to the duo of Twitterella and Miko Grimes. After about 10 minutes it was clear that these may be two of the most annoying and ill informed people I’ve ever heard. Two morons talking over each other with completely misplaced know it all confidence.

NFL networks training camp coverage the past three days has basically been a steady rotation of Cowboys, Jests, Cheatriots, Bills and Broncos with a different team thrown in every couple of hours. .. Fascinating TV.

Stanger, I’m not looking for them to hype Miami. With imbeciles like Jamie Dukes and Heath Evans around quite the opposite would be true. I would just like to see some coverage of other teams rather than the third report in an hour about how the aging slope head in Denver is handling a new offense.

you know all you out of towners can catch the nightly camp report from local news stations cbs and fox by going to their websites. I think it starts at 11.30 pm but they may have it on website where u can see it anytime.I know it used to have Bokamper hosting it but I don’t know now. I believe one show last 1/2 hour and the other is about 15 minutes

You know Suh is good when this happens.

”When you’re going against a player like that, a guy that’s going to come out and give you his all each and every play, every day, it’s going to make you better,” said center Mike Pouncey, who confessed after facing Suh and the defensive line in camp, he was often too tired after plays to ”talk trash like I want to.”

I don’t know if the Mets will have enough to catch the Nationals.
The Nats have had all kinds of injuries and are still ahead in the division.
They are starting to get healthy (Zimmerman, Werth, & Rendon came off the DL this week) and have sharpened their bullpen up.
Seems the Mets or Nationals will not have a chance at the wild card unless the Pirates or Giants collapse.

LOL Piggy,
EVERYONE is NE is mad at life.
He was asked to come onto the show in Boston to talk about something but then he caught wind that they were going to grill him about his sources in the PSI report he leaked which eventually was deemed false (the PFT report recently said the NFL intentionally leaked bad info to him to disperse publicly while giving Steven A Smith some legit info on the Brady cell phone destruction).

Like what I hear about Douglas already separating himself @ LG. Looking like Dallas Thomas may have to be a back-up, or go in @ RG if Turner can’t figure a way to slow Suh….lol….maybe even Linkenbach @ RG.

Jets GM Mike Maccagnan said the Jets have had talks with free agent G Evan Mathis’ agent.
It is unclear what “talks” mean, but it does not sound like anything is imminent. Mathis has likely priced himself out of the market, meaning he will need to either drop the asking price or find a team more desperate for guard help than the Jets and Dolphins. The latter seems unlikely.

we are going to be good on Oline. With the competition they will go up against every day plus the mentoring from those same guys plus the reputedly very good O-line COACHES plural we have we should be good.

I am more excited to hear about how good, and consistently good Tannehill is looking.

what I especially like is how the front office has reinforced the team with additions that will compliment Tannehill. Stills and Landry both caught over 75% of the passes they were targeted on (2nd & 4th in the league) last season, Parker was brought in to be a big catch radius / catching machine, (Miller also caught 73.1% of his targets)

I am predicting that Tanny will be a top 10 QB this season in yards, YPG, Comp%, TD’s & QBR

The Dolphins players still marvel at the type of training they went through one day with the Navy Seals.

It’s been more than a month now since the Dolphins wrapped up their June minicamp by doing some Navy Seals training, but the experience clearly left a mark.

In the case of wide receiver Jarvis Landry, it inspired to don a different look at practice. He’s now wearing a makeshift bandanna in the same mold as Rambo from the “First Blood” movie series.

“I just took a different approach to it, a different mind-set to it,” Landry said. “For me, I think about Rambo. Every tine I think about some army stuff and just that transformation he made when he wasn’t John anymore. He was Rambo. Just for me being able to come out here and play the game that I love at a high level, I wouldn’t say it’s a fashion statement — it’s just a little personality coming out that’s all.”

Center Mike Pouncey, for his part, still marvels at the type of training he went through that one day and the notion that Navy Seals do it on a regular basis.

“Man, that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” Pouncey said. “You get a different respect for those guys, the stuff that they have put up with, the training that they have to go through just to protect us on an everyday basis. It opened my eyes to a different perspective about those guys. I really appreciate everything they do because they put us through some things … it was only one day’s worth, so I can only imagine five days’ worth of that. Some guys ain’t going to make it.

“It was a great event. You could tell that everyone was really into it. You didn’t want to let the guy next to you down and so it was really good for our team-building this offseason.”

I’m not yet sold on RT getting to elite but he’s improved every year he’s been in the league in all categories except yards per completion. His yards per attempt is below 7.0 at the moment (probably due to the OL problems to date). I’d like to see him get to 7.3-7.5 (7.5 seems to be the minimum to get to borderline elite conversation. 8 or better is cream of the crop (top 5 QB).

He’s certainly capable of obtaining elite status….IMO. The skill set is all there sans some refinement in a couple spots, which we’ve seen get better each season he’s been here.
The YPC is something I’m not really blaming Tanny on. As you mentioned, it has been a lot of what the OL is doing or not in this case, as well as the WCO system being used, lots of passes to the backs, etc.

I see Stills & Parker getting him firmly into the 7+ YPC range, especially as the OL comes together.

TODAY Joe Philbin admitted he’s uncomfortable with the O-line’s pass protection. The first step is admitting you have a problem.
